Where they come from: Halley's Comet (1P/Halley)

Dust shed by Halley's Comet, the same stream as May's Eta Aquariids. The comet itself last came round in 1986 and returns in 2061; its dust arrives every October.

The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case. The bar also counts the forecast cloud at the best time, so a clouded-out night sits at the bottom, as does rain on the radar now.

Also from Halley's Comet. Fast meteors that often leave glowing trails.

Full moon

Full Hunter's Moon

Supermoon - rises 6:33 PM in the ENE

6:33 PM – 8:28 AM

The full moon after the Harvest Moon. Hunters tracked game across the fields the harvest had cleared, by its light.

The disc is biggest and most orange in the first half hour above the horizon, and moonrise here is worked out to the minute for a flat horizon.
